AWS Marketplace Announces Support For Software Running On Microsoft Windows®

Amazon Web Services Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced that the AWS Marketplace now supports Windows-based software and other new software categories including Big Data solutions. AWS Marketplace is an online store that makes it easy for customers to find, compare, and immediately start using the software they need to build products and run their businesses. Customers can now quickly discover and 1-Click deploy software products running on Windows Server to the AWS Cloud, including well-known business intelligence, database, and hosting solutions. As with all products in the AWS Marketplace, customers pay only for what they use and can scale their software up or down as needed. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances running Windows Server, include 2003 R2, 2008, 2008 R2, and 2012 editions, and as with all Amazon EC2 Windows instances, customers have the option of enterprise-class support and updates, while taking advantage of the security, scalability, and pay-as-you-go pricing of AWS.

Windows users will now be able to find, deploy, and start using popular application infrastructure, development tools, and business software in minutes. These customers can use the AWS Marketplace to easily search and filter for Windows-compatible software, compare pricing across different server types, and launch in the AWS region of their choice. AWS Marketplace’s 1-Click deployment lets customers start their software in minutes, automating the provisioning of hardware, and simplifying the deployment and configuration of software. Software charges appear on customers’ existing AWS bills, and AWS consolidates payments through one pipeline – there’s no need to set up and manage new accounts for every software product. With no servers to purchase and configure, and no complicated software deployment process, AWS is making it simple and easy to use Windows-based software.

A selection of popular Windows Server software is now available in the AWS Marketplace including products from Parallels Software, MicroStrategy, and Quest Software. Parallels Software is offering Plesk Panel, a widely used hosting control panel solution; MicroStrategy is helping customers quickly build business dashboards with their MicroStrategy 9.3 business intelligence platform; and Quest Software is making available their Toad database productivity software which helps customers support Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL databases running on AWS.
